Aca-mazing: Everything You Need to Know About 'Pitch Perfect 3'

The Bellas are back! If our list of 10 things we want to see happen in Pitch Perfect 3 didn't already give it away, we have been beyond pumped for the third movie of the beloved saga for a while. And if you are anything like us over here at J-14, then you have most likely watched Pitch Perfect and Pitch Perfect 2 over and over again to the point where reciting the lines word for word is second nature by now. Obviously, the music is amazing, but let's be real – "horizontal running" is a concept that remains to be one of the best things that came out of these movies. Genius, really.

So here's what we know.

When does Pitch Perfect 3 come out?

The movie comes out on Friday, December 22, 2017.

Where was Pitch Perfect 3 filmed?

It was shot in Atlanta from January of 2017 through March, and over the course of that time the already tight-knit cast became even more like family. The behind-the-scenes teaser trailer is proof. Prepare for some tears, laughter, and probably a lot more tears.

What is Pitch Perfect 3 about?

It's time to go on a global tour with The Barden Bellas, who aren't in college anymore. They're out performing in the real world, which means they're on a whole new journey.

And finally, we'll be able to find out why exactly Fat Amy goes by that name – fans will get "a little bit of Fat Amy's origin story," according to director Trish Sie.

Will there be a Pitch Perfect 4?

Only time will tell, but we're all keeping our fingers crossed. Not to mention – a tweet of Rebel's suggests there's a possibility. "Oh, still very much looking forward to continuing the aca-legacy," she wrote.

Hailee is also super on board and would even love for her own music to be in the 4th film.

"Yes absolutely that would be a real dream," she said in an interview. "I love that I have been able to be a part of these movies as a fan of them, so if there's an opportunity down the line, if it's really not over – which I guess I don't even know if it is or not – that would be cool."

We have a feeling Pitch Perfect 3 is going to be the best one yet.
